Carlton D. Stansbury decided to practice family law for a simple reason: He wanted to help people.

“I realized early in my career that when legal issues and personal issues overlap, the legal and personal decisions made at that time can impact not only the clients, but also their families for many years,” said Stansbury, the co-founder of Burbach & Stansbury S.C.

He guides clients through all aspects of divorce and its complex property division. In addition to being an attorney, he is also a mediator.

“Every person I come into contact with has an interesting and unique story and perspective. People’s histories, choices, careers and how they have handled adversity has been fascinating to hear,” he said. “I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing and interesting people. … I truly feel that my life has been enriched by all of the clients and professionals that I have worked with for the last 30-plus years.”

When working with clients, Stansbury wants the process to be as positive as possible, likely making the long-term impact more positive as well.
